Biology Assignment Transpiration rates between Exotic vs. Native plants In this investigation we will be looking at transpiration. The topic we will be focusing on is transpiration rates between native plants as well as exotic plants. We will be experimenting with 2 native plants as well as 2 exotic plants. The reason we are experimenting on this topic is because of Australia’s dry weather‚ we are wanting to find out which plants will be able to hold more water during Australia’s peaking tempretures

Norway is the world’s second largest natural gas exporter. However‚ the project has been repeatedly delayed due largely to the immense technical and cost challenges. Reportedly‚ under current consideration is a switch to all liquefied natural gas (LNG) production to improve its economic feasibility‚ as well as a change of partners. A new agreement is now expected in autumn 2012 following the expiration of the original partners’ agreement in June. Most of it was transported to Europe via its extensive

are illustrations of nature portrayed in different ways. Vincent van Gogh’s The Olive Trees and Gustav Klimt’s The Park are clear examples of this. The Olive Trees‚ painted in 1889‚ and The Park‚ painted in about 1910 or earlier‚ are both from the Post-Impressionist movement‚ this explaining why they are painted in a realistic manner. The paintings of Gustav Klimt and Vincent van Gogh both illustrate the trees and nature and are oil on canvas‚ but in contrasting ways‚ one shows nature as "calm and

IB Biology HL Y1 15 January 2009 The Effect of Humidity on Transpiration in Plants Problem/Aim How does placing a plant in a more humid location for 50 minutes affect its rate of transpiration? Introduction Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant‚ mainly through the stomata of leaves. Darkness‚ internal water deficit‚ and extremes of temperature tend to close stomata and decrease transpiration; illumination‚ ample water supply‚ and optimum temperature cause stomata to open and increase

Plant Transport Plants are mostly made up of water. Lettuce is about 94% water and a potato is about 77% water. Plants need water for three main purposes: ------photosynthesis‚ -support -transport of chemicals Water is a raw material for photosynthesis. If water is in short supply‚ the rate of photosynthesis will be limited. Plants need water for support‚ otherwise they wilt. Water is needed to transport many chemicals within plants. Chemicals‚ such as mineral salts‚ dissolve in water and
